Red Valerian; Jupiter’s Beard ‘Pretty Betsy’

Pretty Betsy Red Valerian is a drought-tolerant perennial that performs best in full sun with well-drained, lean to average soil. Clusters of pink to coral-red flowers bloom prolifically from late spring into fall, attracting butterflies and beneficial pollinators throughout the season. This low-maintenance selection reaches 24 to 36 inches tall and tolerates heat, humidity, and poor soils with ease. Shear back after the first flush of blooms to encourage rebloom and maintain a compact habit.
